“Fang Xingjian?”

“You’re able to recognize me?”

“Hehe, although there is some slight changes to your appearance, I’m still able to recognize the disposition coming from your will.”

Their exchange was over in an instant. Rehlings chuckled and said, “Why have you come to the Northern Ice Region? Why didn’t you tell me that you’re here?”

Fang Xingjian said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing important. There’s no need to trouble you.”

However, Rehlings refused to leave Fang Xingjian alone and kept on wanting to discuss about martial arts.

The fight between Fang Xingjian and the Terrene Shrine was well concealed and no one knew of it. However, just his records of having defeated The School of Sword Arts’ Supreme Chief, as well as having pushed back the Fifth Prince in the Eastern Sand Region, were sufficient to earn him the top position amongst the younger generation of the Empire.

Seeing that Fang Xingjian was not saying anything, Rehlings grinned and said, “Do you know that you won’t be able to participate in the National Selections this time around?”

Fang Xingjian lifted his head and threw a glance toward Rehlings. A little surprised, he asked, “Oh? How did you know that?” The prize for getting first place in the National Selection was a Divine Remains Equipment. Fang Xingjian was definitely going to try to get it.

When Rehlings saw that his conversation topic had finally gotten Fang Xingjian’s attention, he grinned and said, “I have my own information network. The Knight Association and the National Central Academy are planning to invite you to be a judge for the coming National Selection. Therefore, you won’t be able to join in the capacity of a participant.

“This is the latest insider news. It’ll probably take one week before it reaches your Great Western City.”

“Judge?” Fang Xingjian frowned, unable to understand why the central government was doing this.

Audrey looked at Rehlings and Fang Xingjian with slight astonishment. Seeing how Rehlings, who usually did not care to talk much to others, had actually spoken so much with Fang Xingjian, a sense of confusion grew in her mind. “Who on earth are you?”

Fang Xingjian said, “You’ll find out in a while.”

Rehlings took a look at Audrey and Fang Xingjian, frowning sightly to himself. He communicated with Fang Xingjian through martial will, “Brother, you better not lay your hands on this lady. An important character has already reserved her.”

“Xia? You know about this as well?”

“Of course. If it’s not to see the demeanor of a Divine level expert, why would I possibly come? But since you know of this, why are you still getting involved with this lady?”

“I’m going to protect her.”

Their communication ended instantly, and Rehlings eyes were agape as he looked at Fang Xingjian in disbelief. Fang Xingjian was going to go against the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon for Audrey’s sake?

Rehlings smiled bitterly and said, “Brother, a beauty’s arms spells the hero’s demise. Aren’t you risking too much for Audrey’s sake?”

Audrey asked puzzledly, “What are you guys talking about?”

Rehlings threw a glance at her and smiled while shaking his head. “It’s such a fortunate thing to be blessed with good looks.”
